As far as editing, I just use the cropping feature (that appears when you tap on a picture from your photo library).

Also, it took me forever to realize this...but only the lens needs to be visible for a pic. That little tiny circle at the top of the phone face! Of course, you can't see yourself on the screen to know if you're posing correctly....but there have been times when I've had to prop a rock or something on the front side of the phone (to keep it from sliding) but I was till able to see some of the screen to have an idea how the shot would turn out.
